Did this really happen?

NSFL. DO NOT OPEN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE A MAN PUNCHING ELDERLY NURSING HOME PATIENTS FOR YOUTUBE MATERIAL.

Anyone have any sort of idea how we can turn this ship around? I’m utterly stunned at the sheer callousness of some people. Is this a product of being desensitized by violent media? Is the Internet creating sociopaths, or are they just outing themselves?

If you were a person of influence, what would you do to minimize the amount of monsters who victimize others from being created? Is this even possible?

I've said this before and I'll say it again. I think there is a substantial portion of the population who have attachment disorders.

You have to go back to the beginnings of a human being to understand the adult before you.

Yes, I think it's possible and I've posted about it at some length here over the years on various related threads. Maybe people think I'm talking about "kids stuff". Yeah you bet I am.

What creates an attachment disorder, in layman’s terms, Jersey Girl?

- Doc

The ability of a parent to meet the needs of a child starting at birth.

[_Jersey Girl]

Deprivation creates attachment disorder. Pick most any famous serial killer you know...even Hitler...and you'll find a child who wasn't nurtured, whose needs weren't met, and whose early years were colored by abuse and neglect.

Here: I just nabbed this off the first search hit for Hitler's childhood.

His father, Alois, was a customs official while his mother, Klara, came from a poor peasant family. Life was financially comfortable for the Hitler family but Alois was a domineering character and young Adolf frequently found himself on the wrong side of his father's short temper. At primary school Hitler was a clever, popular child. At secondary school he withdrew psychologically, preferring to re-enact battles from the Boer War than study. He left school with no qualifications at 16.

John Wayne Gacy

As a child, Gacy was overweight and not athletic. He was close to his two sisters and mother but endured a difficult relationship with his father, an alcoholic who was physically abusive to his wife and children.[9] Gacy seldom received his father's approval, later recollecting that, no matter what he achieved, he was "never good enough" in his father's eyes.[10] His father regularly belittled him, calling him "dumb and stupid" and comparing him unfavorably with his sisters.[11] Despite this, Gacy always denied ever hating his father.[12]

One of Gacy's earliest childhood memories was of being beaten with a leather belt at the age of four for accidentally disarranging car engine components his father had assembled.[13] On another occasion, he was struck across the head with a broomstick and rendered unconscious.[14] When he was six years old, Gacy stole a toy truck from a neighborhood store. His mother made him walk back to the store, return the toy and apologize to the owners. His mother informed his father, who beat Gacy with a belt as punishment. After this incident, Gacy's mother attempted to shield her son from his father's verbal and physical abuse,[15] yet this only succeeded in Gacy earning accusations that he was a "sissy" and a "Mama's boy"[16] who would "probably grow up queer".[17]

In 1949, Gacy's father was informed that his son and another boy had been caught sexually fondling a young girl.[18] Gacy's father whipped him with a razor strop as punishment. The same year,[19] Gacy was molested by a family friend,[16] a contractor who would take Gacy for rides in his truck and then fondle him. Gacy never told his father about these incidents, afraid that his father would blame him.[11]

Charles Manson

Charles later obtained the last name Manson from William Eugene Manson whom Kathleen began dating in 1934. Manson was a heavy drinker and would be missing for days at a time and the two divorced just three years later in 1937. As Kathleen struggled with her own alcoholic tendencies she too would go missing for days at a time leaving young Charles to fend for himself and/or with a variety of babysitters while she was bar-hopping and hanging around various men getting into trouble. Charles refers to his mother as a prostitute from what he remembers.

There's some for your consideration. I'll write more later if needed. This topic angers and upsets me so I'll take a little break. I would like to add that sometimes deprivation takes place through no fault of a parent at all. Early separations at birth, for example, due to medical or mental health complications can disrupt the attachment and bonding process that every child needs to develop into a whole human being.

The seeds are sown for the development of empathy from birth and forward. When you see a guy like that punching the stuffing out of a helpless victim, you are looking at a young man with no empathy. Why? Because he wasn't the recipient of empathy as a child.

The one and only thing that can change the course of these children is insight on the part of adults and widespread reform.

Okay...break now.

For anyone interested in attachment and bonding, and who wants to reflect on what might be missing in the lives of children who grow to be empathy-lacking adults. This is T. Berry Brazelton. Brazelton devoted his life to this topic. When your infant is born they are given an Apgar score and a Brazelton Behavioral Assessment.

I haven't watched either of these two videos. I trust what he's going to say implicitly. Part of my professional training was through the Brazelton Institute. I never met Dr. Brazelton but one of my kids did and she told him. "My mother said to thank you for helping her raise me." And he smiled that big warm smile, hugged her and said, "Oh that's so sweet!"
